Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Fires filled the north bank of the Yalu River, and black smoke billowed. All the military villages outside the Jurchen Palace were set on fire, and the mountains and fields were filled with "savages" wearing animal skins.  ¨R ¡Û¡Û A group of Khitan cavalry at the city gate waved their weapons and shouted in fear.  Surrounded by ragged tribal savages, a Khitan soldier was pulled off his horse, and a large group of people gathered around him frantically. "Ah" The blood rose up in the blood as the horrifying screams rose up.  There were several savages nearby who were holding down a Khitan soldier who was struggling desperately. The savages picked up a big stone with both hands and smashed it on the head of the Khitan soldier, causing blood and brain matter to splash everywhere.  Smoke was billowing in the city, and low-rise houses and tents everywhere were on fire. Many panicked men, women and children ran away in the smoke to beg for mercy.  The savages looted the houses. Bags of pearls, furs, ginseng and other items were carried out by the noisy crowd, and then set fire to the houses.  A Khitan civil servant was stabbed with a wooden fork until his whole body was covered in blood. He was not dead yet. He screamed and screamed while crawling on the ground. Then the sharpened wooden stick was thrown at him and he was beaten to a bloody pulp.  A tall, shirtless man riding a horse raised his fists, widened his eyes and roared "wow", and the crowd around him also danced and shouted.  Women in disheveled clothes were driven out everywhere. They were shaking all over with fear. They lowered their heads and were still being beaten and scolded by the savages.  There are women ranging from a few years old to women in their fifties and sixties.  All the men were killed, and the ground was littered with corpses and moaning people.  ¡­A few days later, the fast horses from the northeast reported directly to the King of Liao¡¯s tent.  Urgent report is coming, the Goryeo army has crossed the border!  The Jurchen Palace on the Yalu River was besieged and captured by more than a dozen tribes. The city and villages were looted, and the military commander and officials were slaughtered!  "This is treason and rebellion! We must teach those barbarians a bloody lesson!" The nobles in the king's tent were furious.  At this time, someone said: "The commander of the troops guarding the Jurchen Palace on the Yalu River is the Prince Consort of Daliao, and the princess is also in the Palace" With this reminder, the ministers remembered the princess the half-father of the late Emperor Yelujing.  Mother's sister, half sister of Yue King Yelvbi.  The man standing in the middle of the king's tent blurted out: "All the women in the palace were captured and taken to the barbarian tribe. I heard that more than a dozen tribe leaders gathered in the mountains for fun, and most of the women were tortured to death!"  There was an uproar in the tent, and the Khitan nobles and ministers were all furious!  The angry curses and humiliating shouts made the tent seem to explode.  "After the assassination of the "tyrant" Yelujing, members of the Yi Zong party came to power. The princess was from the political opponents of the court and had lost power However, she was still the blood of Taizu anyway, and it was related to the royal family's face.  When something like this happens, it is an unacceptable shame for people of any faction!  Amid the commotion, Yang Gun saw Yelu Xiezhen, the Privy Councilor of the North Courtyard, turning around. Yang Gun reminded him: "The King of Yue has the best relationship with his half-sister. He will definitely be very sad when he knows the news."  Standing behind Yelu Xiezhen, when he heard Yang Gun's words, he immediately remembered the secret message he had received in Shangjing: The king of Yue must rebel.  At this moment, the thin Yelvxian raised the scepter in his hand, and the angry noise in the tent gradually subsided.  There was a melancholy in Yelvxian's eyes that was not consistent with his age, and he said, "How to take revenge and resist foreign invaders? Do you have a good plan?" A nobleman of the Yelv family bowed and said: "Although Xu Guohan'er is a formidable enemy, in the end he is the most powerful enemy.  What's deplorable is that Xu's army came from the south, mostly infantry. Dongdan's government moved from Liaoyang to avoid Xu's attack. The minister suggested that the army should attack the Jurchens and the Koreans first!  He said: "Where will the Dongdan government be moved?" The noble said: "Move back to Huhan City." Yelu Xiezhen said: "Near the Huhan City are all the Jurchen tribes, and the largest Wanyan tribe is not far away. If  Those tribes also followed in the rebellion, so what?" Yelu Hu'er echoed: "The Goryeo and Jurchen rebels are our important enemies." Yang Gun, who was standing behind, also bowed and said: "The Goryeo Kingdom surrendered to the Xu Dynasty a few years ago.  He also paid tribute and sent some beauties to Blacksmith Guo. In this situation, the Kingdom of Goryeo may have already communicated with the Kingdom of Xu and attacked Daliao from east to west. "The Great Khan Yelvxian looked at Xiao Siwen and asked, "What is Xiao Gong's plan?"  Everyone immediately stopped talking and looked sideways, and the atmosphere became a little subtle.  Xiao Siwen raised his head and said slowly: "Since the imperial court has made arrangements before, it is better to wait for news from King Qi. If we can force the Xu people back first, the chaos can be easily solved." Qi King Yu Sage, the original  The title was Prince Taiping, the younger brother of the late Emperor Yelujing; but he was also Xiao Siwen's son-in-law, and he married Xiao Siwen's eldest daughter, Xiao Hunian.  After Yelvxian came to power, AnHe won him over and made him King of Qi, still guarding Xijing. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The Kuisage tribe passed through Daliao Bazhou (Chaoyang) and went south along the Linghe River (Daling River).  He decided to first go to Liucheng (left wing of Karaqin, north of the Liaoxi Corridor) by the Ling River to find the Xi people, and unite the local Xi soldiers to attack south from this important northern passage of the Liaoxi Corridor The local Xi people were more familiar with the terrain.  Unexpectedly, when the vanguard arrived at Liucheng, they saw that the walls of Liucheng were tightly closed, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.  Yusage and his generals said: "Khitan and Kumoxi have lived together for hundreds of years. The Xi people are our most trustworthy tribe. They will not betray us easily. Send someone quickly to ask what's going on." Wait until the Liao army is in full swing  People and horses were all over the north bank of Linghe River, and Xi Ren finally opened the door and sent people out.  A leader of the Xi tribe came running with a group of horse soldiers. When he saw the Khitan general, he looked panicked and said, "Forgive me, general. At first we thought it was Han'er coming again."  "The leader said: "They came just three days ago. They burned down tents and villages and took away cattle and sheep. Some tribesmen and herdsmen went to the city to ask for shelter, and some went north to hide in the mountains.  "Are there any troops?" Qi Sage asked again.  The leader gestured and said: "The tribesmen who escaped said that all Han'er wore fine armor and rode big horses, and the leading general was twice as big as the others!" He raised his hand exaggeratedly to describe his figure, "He is covered in iron armor and holds a large weapon in his hand.  A giant spear made of iron, no one can match it, like a ghost escaping from the underworld" Immediately, a general stood next to Zi Sage and said in a deep voice: "Shi Yan, the most powerful general of the Xu army, is nearby!" Listen to this!  His expression changed and he quickly looked around.  On the other side of the Ling River, there are undulating mountains, lush woods, and the surrounding terrain is very complex.  He followed the flow of the Ling River and looked towards the road south of Liucheng. The mountains on both sides of the river stood tall and the terrain gradually narrowed Xu Jun's several battles in Youzhou, Pingxia and Hedong used ambush and siege tactics to compensate.  The infantry's mobility was insufficient. In the recent Hedong Battle, tens of thousands of Liao troops were trapped in a tight siege and suffered heavy casualties, which shocked the world. How could Guisage not know about it?  "Gah!" Suddenly a bird roared in the air, and the cry echoed in the mountains and forests on the other side.  Ruisage came back to his senses, moved his body hurriedly, and subconsciously looked up at the sky to look for the bird.  The war horse under the seat also moved its front hooves and took a step back. ·H Sage looked everywhere, but he didn't see the bird at all. He only felt the shadow of the mountain swaying around him!  Suddenly, a general said: "Your Majesty, we should send scouts to search the surrounding areas first." He turned around and saw the long dragon-like horse soldiers on the north bank of the Linghe River. He glared and said: "Turn around! Leave here first!" Several cavalry rushed out.  The army shouted military orders loudly, and the soldiers were in an uproar.  After a long time, the rear army became the front army and galloped towards the northeast road; all the troops also turned around and retreated. ·H Sage led the troops and ran for hundreds of miles. The army arrived at Bazhou of Daliao one after another before stopping. It was already dark.  The terrain of Bazhou is undulating, with mountains and hills on all sides.  But at last there were no mountains blocking the road, the cavalry could still gallop here, and the army could move away, which made Kuisage feel at ease.  He then ordered the camp to be set up, and the next day he transferred the forward Qianqi back to Liucheng, and ordered them to investigate the military situation with the Xi people.  Tens of thousands of Xijing tribesmen stayed in Bazhou for five days. Pioneer Lu Xu sent people back to report. Sometimes they said that embers and sheep bones were found on the mountain road, and sometimes they said that there were no people on the hillside with abundant water and grassall of them  some worthless news. ·H Sage still doesn¡¯t know where Shi Yan is, or maybe he has retreated after the robbery.  Soon, he received news that Xu¡¯s army had arrived in Jinzhou and was besieging Jinzhou City.  As long as you climb over the mountains to the east, you can hear the sound of cannons.  He discussed with the tribal leaders and generals in the central army: "The enemy's situation is unclear, and we have stayed here for too long. The opportunity for a surprise attack no longer exists. It is better to act cautiously and retreat first to join the king's army." Everybody's opinion  There are different opinions, but some people agree with Yu Sage¡¯s view, ¡°It is wiser to protect oneself first than to achieve military exploits.¡± Yu Sage weighed it again and again. His plan to go south from the Songling Mountains was in danger of being ambushed; there was no way to rescue Jinzhou nearby.  Obtained permission from the king's account.  So Ji Sage decided to retreat first.  ¡­At this time in Jinzhou City, the Xiaoling River and Tu River (Daughter River) were covered with floating bridges. Tens of thousands of troops surrounded the city, and the siege fortifications and fences were like long walls.  This city was originally built in the Tang Dynasty, and was repaired and rebuilt several times later. The ancient and outdated city tower seemed to be crumbling among the crowds of military camps.  After nightfall, the flames soared into the sky, and the city looked like it would be destroyed by fire at any time.    Xu Jun built artillery arrays on all sides, and the muzzles of the bronze cannons were dark holes facing the city wall.  The siege has not yet begun, but the defender is already full of despair. It is said that the tall and strong city of Youzhou cannot stop Xu Jun's firearms, let alone the ancient city of Jinzhou?  Before the siege of the city, the defender had already sent several fast horses northward to seek help.  Now his only hope is that the Emperor of Liao Dynasty sends reinforcements to rescue him!  .8
